This is driving me crazy. This website and its pages work perfectly in IE, and Chrome but in Firefox 5.0 it frequently won't load the belts and bags page and the only way to get it to load is clear my cache/history.
http://www.urlgone.com/0ad9a6/
If you click around four times on the Bags link, then the belts link, then the Bags, then the accessories link it usually won't load. Another testing process is when you click Belts or Bags twice each then hit refresh it gets stuck and never loads or eventually after a long wait does. It seems to do this on either Belts or Bags but its
not always the same page that has problems.
Can anyone give me a clue what the problem is?
I figured the problem out. Its more specific to my individual situation i guess. I thought maybe my problem was the word press include header file but I was wrong. It appears to be permalinks. I changed my perma links to default and it worked. Next I did a restart with Firefox in Safe Mode using pretty permalinks (not default) and it worked fine. So ultimately the problem in Firefox is an add-ons in combination with the permalink somehow. I found the culprit add-on is HTML Validator 0.9.0.6. I'm not sure why this is the problem but appears it is.

i made a WordPress page for a client, and for some reason it is taking over a minute to load the page. The only thing that I could think of being the problem is the amount of photos that he inserted into the slider up top on the home page. It looks like all those pictures need to load before anything else pops up. But then I click on Contact or any other page that has no real images to speak of, and the problem is still there. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to fix this. thanks!
Like #David said, its the initial request (the source for the page) that is giving you the issues. This means it is unlikely an issue with hosting, and most likely an issue with your code. I would go through any plugins you have installed and disable them one-by-one, and slowly start commenting out your own custom dynamic code bit by bit, till you see what is taking so incredibly long. Then rewrite/excise that code from the site.
Start With the Basics
Keep the number of WordPress plugins you use to a minimum
Get a Proper Hosting Provider
Remove Unnecessary Code From WordPress Header -> http://goo.gl/yfRcF
Use firebug and click Network tab to check loading speed for each files

*If you use gallery try to use image thumbnail rather than load whole images size
My app for the iPad shows PDF-files by using a UIWebView. But sometimes when I click on several pdfs in a row, the first page of a pdf is blank suddenly. When I reopen the same pdf a second time, the first page is normal again. This happens from time to time and is not just linked to a specific pdf file.
Any ideas or did you had similar issues? Solutions? :/
Thanks in advance!!
Without seeing neither code, nor the PDFS, I would bet for a memory related issue, since you say this happens when showing several PDFs in a row. Indeed, UIWebView is highly optimized as to memory usage and keeps in memory only relevant parts of the page, so it could be that somehow your first page is unloaded.
You can check if this is the case by adding some NSLog traces to didReceiveMemoryWarning in your app delegate. If you see the trace logged just before the blank page issue appears, then this would be a hint that it might be a memory problem.
If my hypothesis is right, then a fix would be forcing the web page to refresh its content. Or you might try a workaround just to make this particular use case (quickly moving through multiple PDFs documents in a row) work. In both cases, I would need more detail to suggest any possible implementation.
On this site: http://67.15.245.6/~paddyosh/ the main navigation has suddenly stopped changing, i am sure i didn't change the core files.
The same code works fine on the local machine, but please tell me if it's just my computer and you can't see what my problem is.
That sounds suspiciously like the cache under Global Settings...try that...I have experienced that problem before, under the Admin back-end, the menus wouldn't work..then again, I got best results under Opera, in Chrome it doesn't work properly...weird...
I think the cache is the most likely culprit as tommieb says.
Alternatively, it could be a CSS issue, since you're using sprites. You don't say what you're changing in the menu, but for example if you change a menu item title from "Sports" to something else, it will still say "Sports" because the text is part of the image.
Over the last few days, I've noticed that (occasionally) when testing my own site in FF, it loads the first time that FF has been opened, but it seems to hang on subsequent loads (windows only - i haven't noticed this behaviour on mac, but i don't use my mac as much).
The url is http://HearWhere.com
Of course, my concern is that sometimes people will try to get to the site and not be able to (and based on what I can see, that is a distinct possibility, as i've seen a significant drop in stats over the last few days, so I suspect that might be happening).
Any idea why? I can't seem to figure this one out.
I view source on the page that hasn't loaded, and it appears that all the source is there.
The one thing I can think of that might be causing the problem is that in my head and footer, i have a bit of PHP which attaches the correct API key based on the visiting domain (this is so I don't have to hard-code the api key into the page and change it from dev to prod).
i use a fairly simple
$domain=$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
if($domain=='dev'){
$apiKey='apikey';
}else {
$apiKey='apikey2';
}
but when viewing the source, it appears that show without issue.
I do a similar bit of code at the bottom of the page so I only include tracking codes when the domain is not dev.
Any ideas?
UPDATE --------------------------------------------------------------------
After checking it out in Firebug (not sure why i didn't check that before), the following two google scripts are failing, and everything stops there.
The site is map/location centric, so there i need the google stuff. Any idea why it would fail?
these are the failing scripts
http://gg.google.com/csiv=2&s=mapsapi&action=jsloaderjslinker&rt=jsload.69,jseval.103,jsdone.105
http://gg.google.com/csi?v=2&s=mapsapi&action=apiboot&rt=d.2,e.316,ab1.336
Have you tried Firebug plugin for Firefox? It could help you debug some script/network/html issues.
You can monitor script, images and other ressources load time.
Good luck.
It appears this was/is an error with Firebug. Disabling firebug resolves the issue, so it shouldn't affect too many visitors.
Thanks for the help,

When I debug locally in fire fox 2.0x many times my page won't have the styles added properly or the page will not completely render (the end is seemingly cut off). Sometimes it takes multiple refreshes or shift-refreshes to fix this. Is this a common issue or is it just me? Any solutions?
I want to add that this is happening in fire fox 3.x to me as well. I add my javascript to the pages dynamically and this might be part of the issue. This is when I am working locally with Visual Studio.
Update: This does happen in IE but it happens much more often in Fire Fox. The issue seems to be only javascript and CSS files not loading. For example I get jQuery is not defined, $ is not defined etc. I don't think I have local IIS to test this on but from the server it always works perfectly. Fire Bug shows all my css and javascript files to be requested and received.
This could be a problem with IPv6 and DNS of the Firefox browser. This issue is known to slow down Firefox on localhost:SOMEPORT. The effect would be that some external files won't load (css, js etc.) resulting in a partially rendered page.
You can solve this issue by simply deactivating IPv6 in Firefox:
Insert about:config in the Firefox address bar
Set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true or alternatively add localhost to network.dns.ipv4OnlyDomains
A different way to fix this issue, is to a remove the ipv6 address from your hosts file this way: open the file
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
(with administrator privileges) and remove (or comment out #):
:: localhost
Make sure that you narrow the scope of the problem. Does the problem just happen when debugging from VS or does it also happen with local IIS? With server-based IIS? Does it happen to other developers in your company? Is it really just FireFox or does it happen to Chrome, Opera, IE, etc?
Assuming that you've already worked that all out, I would suggest installing a FireFox plug-in called "Tamper Data". Open that and refresh the page. You'll see a record of every connection from the browser to the server (for each html file, image, css file, etc). Look to see if any of the them are very slow or not completing (perhaps one of those files is taking a long time and FF is waiting for it to finish before loading other important files).
Assuming that all of the files correctly loads, you should consider checking that the syntax is valid (maybe there is some unclosed tag or quotation mark that is causing FF confusion). I use a plugin called "Web Developer", but there are a lot of other options out there.
You could also use a plugin called FireBug to view the HTML behind various parts of the page to see if there are any noticeable problems. You start FireBug, go to the HTML tab, click Inpsect, and move your mouse over something on the page, and it will show you the HTML behind it.
One thing to do would be to check the source of the page(s) in question. My guess would be that the local server that VS runs is not giving you the entire source of the page. One way to verify this would be to run exactly the same code in the debug environment, as well as from a "real" server like IIS 6. If the same behavior is seen on loading the page from both servers, as well as insuring that the full page source is being recieved by the browser(s), then it is a bug in Firefox and should be reported. This is especially true if other browsers, ie. IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera, render the page fully.
Are you comparing what you see in Firefox to what is displayed in the Visual Studio designer? If this is the case, then they are using 2 different methods to render the html and may not display the same.
Anything further on this folks?
I have examined the traffic using Firebug and it appears that when veiwing the response from the request for a style sheet, the response is just blank. After refreshing (sometimes multiple times) the age displays correctly and the response information contains the style sheet. I have not seen this in any other browser and it only occurs when viewing the app from Visual Studio.
2! Recently i had the same problem. Im using MVC 1.0 and I added a new stylesheet into Views/Share folder. And when i run the project, the page didnt render along with the css. If your web project is a MVC one so try put the css file into the Content folder.
Hope this help.
HaiVu.Doan.
In case anyone else finds this with newer versions of Visual Studio, I have to run VS as Administrator. This is something I keep forgetting to do, but once I right clicked on Run as Administrator when opening VS, the problem went away.
Initial problem, I could not get CSS to render when running a project from VS 2012 using Firefox as the browser. (IE worked just fine, btw.) The content would be there, but no CSS. This was the first post I found when I typed in my question.
